venture, SPV and entities promoted by the Government for setting up, modernization, expansion of food processing units and
development of infrastructure in designated food parks. The rate of interest charged is linked to Prime Lending Rate (PLR) to NABARD
and the risk rating undertaken by NABARD for the borrowing entity. The details of the scheme can be viewed at NABARD website
https://www.nabard.org/foodprocessing.pdf.
Food processing sector has been identified as one of the priority sector under “MAKE IN INDIA” an initiative of Hon‟ble Prime
Minister of India. With a view to attract investment to this sector, Ministry of Food Processing Industry has been investing in
infrastructure for promoting food processing industries. Mega Food Parks with common utility like road, electricity, water supply,
sewage facility and common processing facility like pulping, packaging, cold storage, dry storage and logistics are being promoted in
areas with strong agricultural resource base. These parks provide fully developed plots and factory sheds to entrepreneurs on long term
lease basis where they can set up food processing units in “plug & play model”. Government has also declared investment in Food Parks
covered under the Harmonized List of Infrastructure Sub-sectors (HLIS)” vide Government of India Notification dated 13th October
2014. Following this notification, it is expected that Mega Food Parks assisted by the Ministry will be able to access to infrastructure
lending on easier terms. In India, we have a huge cold chain gap of 29 Million MT. With a view to encourage investment in cold chain
logistics, income tax benefits are extended for attracting private investment to the sector.
In the context of “MAKE IN INDIA” campaign, the Ministry has been disseminating information to potential investors to attract
investment to the sector through a dedicated “Investors Portal” in which a range of information like resource base, availability of land,
state specific policies, fiscal incentives are shared with the potential investors.
With a view to finalise a concrete action plan, the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) had organized „Make in
India‟ workshop at Vigyan Bhawan. The Department, on the basis of deliberations and presentations before Hon‟ble Prime Minister in
the workshop, has compiled a document “Make in India : An Action Plan” for necessary follow-up action and implementation by all
concerned. Two important medium term initiatives outlined in the document relate to creation of additional 7.5 Million MT cold chain
capacity under the joint responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture & the Ministry of Food Processing Industries and setting up of 42
Mega Food Parks in the next 3 years.

about cleanliness and hygiene in slaughter practices during 2014-15 at Chitradurga, Kartanaka on 02.07.2014.
The Board which was to be an industry driven body, with provision of funding by the Government for first three years
i.e. up to 2012-13, had to generate its own revenue. However, the Board was unable to generate revenue for its sustainability and
was not in a position to continue its activities without Government funding. The continuation of the Board during the remaining
period of 12th Five Year Plan was considered by the Ministry. Based on the comments received from Department of
Expenditure, Ministry of Finance and the Planning Commission and consultation with the Stakeholders, it has been decided to
wind up the Board. Accordingly, NMPPB is presently in the process of being wound up.
